for lagosians only?

Living at Sango/Otta to work at VI, Lagos is not a small burden. That is what a friend does everyday. It is not the long distance that is the trouble; the bottleneck traffic is. My friend wakes up by 4 am, gets ready for work and leaves home by 5am so as to avoid the traffic problems. This way, he is able to arrive at work in good time. The return journey is even more harrowing. He does not get back home until after the Network News. His children hardly sees him except on weekends! Obviously, this hard life is telling badly on his health. He is considering asking for a transfer outside Lagos, or changing jobs/locations at the same time. I, myself, was in Lagos at various times between 1981 and 1993. The traffic problem made me opt for a transfer to Kano 1n 1986. When I was moved back to Lagos in 1991, I was a sad man. When the opportunity came for me to move out of Lagos again 2 years later, I was overjoyed. Apart from traffic problem, Lagos is scary for a lot of other socio-economic problems such as human congestion, housing problems, impersonal relationships, crimes, environmental degradation, public utility failures, high cost of living, etc.
